2-Naphthyl caprylate Octanoic acid (β-naphthyl ester)
2-Naphthyl caprylate is a chromogenic substrate for carboxylesterase and lipase. 2-naphthol is released upon hydrolyzation. By simultaneous coupling with a diazonium salt, the corresponding azo-dye is formed.Naphthols can also be detected by fluorescence analysis, and can be used in a colorimetric assay for the extracellular lipase ofPseudomonas fluorescent B52.Product Specifications2-Naphthyl caprylate Octanoic acid (β-naphthyl ester) Octanoic acid β-naphthyl esterβ-Nap-caprylate2-Naphthyl caprylateMOLECULAR BIOLOGY GRADEFormula: C18H22O2MW: 270.37 g/molColor/Purity: White to off-white crystalline powderPubChem CID:82494
